Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly instated radical-left tenant advocate, Cea Weaver, broke down Wednesday as she dodged questions from reporters about her gentrification hypocrisy.

The 37-year-old, who has faced backlash for blasting homeownership as a “weapon of white supremacy” in the past, teared up when she emerged briefly from her apartment building in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, at about 9 a.m.

Weaver, who was tapped by Mamdani to be his new director of the city Office to Protect Tenants, quickly ran back inside after she was asked about the $1.6 million home her mother owns in Nashville, Tennessee.

Cea is a college girl, and I mean that in the true sense of the word.

She needs someone, like her father, to sit her down and give her a talking to.

That assumes her father has any sense.

“crude insults directed at anyone and anything that doesn’t exactly fit their worldview”

Sounds a little like muslim extremists no?

From the article, her undergrad time was spent at Bryn Mawr College, located outside Philadelphia. It is known to be one of the most liberal colleges in the country - right up there with Oberlin, Smith, Ithaca & Sara Lawrence colleges, and Brown, Cornell & UC Berkeley Universities.

Likely had socialist/communist ideals spoon-fed to her since birth by her 2 college-professor parents, and had those reinforced throughout her “acadamic” life-path. This would have virtually assured that such views had never been challenged.

far better to let neighborhoods crumble into dust than risk the horrors of gentrification ...

the other advantage of crumbling neighborhoods is that Weaver would have many more choices of non-gentrified neighborhoods to live in, instead of the gentrified neighborhoods she’s apparently forced to live in ...

Many woke types are on the verge of tears or lashing out and breaking things near them.

Not what a citizen would want as a leader of anything. But common now.

The mansion isn't her house, it's her mother's house.

The question triggered her because she doesn't get along with mom at all.

Or something. { snicker }

I “feel” her love and compassion for everyone who is different than her. (Don’t you?)
